cross reference
The application requires to be filed in JIUYUE, the 2011 U.S. Provisional Application No.61/531 of 5 days, and 052 rights and interests are incorporated to this application entirety herein by reference.
background of invention
invention field:present invention relates in general to the apparatus and method for optionally changing and control patient temperature.More specifically, it relates to by the endoperitoneal heat exchange of patient and reduces the relative Noninvasive of patient temperature and system and method that can execute-in-place.Peritoneum heat exchange provide cooling patient extremely fast such as the target organ such as heart and brain and promote overall patient temperature to be reduced to the benefit for the treatment of effective temperature.Heat exchange medium of the present invention is that the freezing gaseous fluid that freezes ice pellets is suspended thing.
background of invention:the mankind are considered to a kind of tropical animal.Human animal's normal function needs the body temperature of about 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheits).Health can carry out a small amount of rising of self-compensation temperature or decline to change by the activation of the intrinsic thermoregulation system of the temperature receptor control by skin.The reaction that body temperature rise is changed is to cause perspire, like this moisture is moved to body surface from bodily tissue.In the time that moisture arrives body surface, evaporate, carry a certain amount of heat with it.That the fluid losing because of perspire must be supplemented for people being exposed to the explanation that hot environment a period of time can become thirsty.The reaction that temperature decline is changed is to tremble, and this is that health is attempting to produce heat.Trembling is extensive unconscious contraction and the expansion occurring of muscular tissue.This muscle movement is by friction generates heat.
Hypothermia is defined as core temperature lower than 35 degrees Celsius.Hypothermia is also considered to the clinical state of the subnormal temperature in the time that health cannot generate enough heats and effectively maintains function.Many variablees are facilitated hypothermic development.Age, health status, nutrition, body size, be completely exhausted, expose, expose persistent period, wind, temperature, humidity, medicine and narcotic and can reduce heat generation, increase thermal loss or disturb heat stability.Healthy individuals by conduction, convection current, radiation, evaporation and breathing to the compensatory response of thermal loss may be exposed overwhelm.Medicine can disturb thermoregulation.Acute or chronic central nervous system's process can reduce thermotaxic effectiveness.
Mild hypothermia is in the time that core temperature is 34-35 degree Celsius.Patient still vigilance and can oneself help, and start acutely tremble.But patient's motion becomes more inharmonious and cold some pain of generation and discomfort.
Moderate hypothermia is in the time that patient's core temperature is 31-33 degree Celsius.Tremble and slow down or stop, muscle starts to become stiff and occurs confusion and apathy.Speech becomes slow, fuzzy and ambiguous, breathes and becomes slow and shallow, and may occur sleepy and strange behavior.
Severe hypothermia is in the time that core temperature is brought down below 31 degrees Celsius.Skin cold, color may be pewter, eyes may be opened wide.Patient is very weak, shows obvious shortage coordination, inarticulateness, seems and is completely exhausted, and may be drunk shape, denies existing problems and may refuse one's help.Consciousness is lost gradually.Possible shallow breathing or without obviously breathing, patient may be very stiff, lose consciousness, and may seem dead.
Treat hypothermic straightforward procedure known very early.These class methods comprise patient are rolled in blanket, oral administration warmed fluid and patient is immersed in tepidarium.If hypothermia is not too serious, even if these straightforward procedures all can be proved effective.But the effectiveness of these straightforward procedures is limited.Patient is rolled in and in blanket, finally depends on patient self and produce heat and make its health rewarming.Even in the hypothermic situation of moderate, or the in the situation that of ill or wounded patient, patient is may be tangible too weak or be completely exhausted and can not produce enough heats.Orally administered warmed fluid needs patient's Consciousness and can swallow fluid.Because loss of consciousness occurs in hypothermic in early days, therefore the method is also limited to moderate case.It is usually at all unpractical that patient is immersed in tepidarium.For example, it is obviously less desirable soaking the patient who is undergoing surgery.In addition, immersion technology is consuming time and possibility is invalid, and this is because it need to be delivered to the warm skin surface from patient among body core, then could realize warm benefit.Other devices allow directly to warm up patient's blood.These methods relate to from patient takes out blood, warms up and in equipment, warms up blood, and blood is sent and got back in patient body in outside.Although this class methods are all more much effective than previously described any straightforward procedure, they have shortcoming because of other reasons.First, related device is very heavy.Secondly, even also relate to some danger from a large amount of blood of the temporary transient taking-up of very weak patient.In fact, when initial taking-up blood tends to experience further temperature decline when warming up in external device (ED).Finally, use special conduit and directly warm up patient's blood.But the well-trained personnel of these conduits needs are inserted into device patient's central vessel, and these doctors only just have in specific unit, on ambulance, do not have, or even in emergency room, also seldom have.These instruments are also very expensive, are not therefore that each care-giver is available.
Nearest medical report has been described the means that use controlled hypothermia to be used as reducing oxygen consumption tissues such as cardiac muscle and brain during the perfusion that (correspondingly) occurs due to myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction is lowered, causes like this injury reduction and infarcted region to reduce.During medical report has also been described and prophylactically reduced art by controlled hypothermia during operation on heart or Interventional cardiac surgery or the postoperative injury from the ischemia in heart and brain and/or thromboembolism.
The ability preventing in treatment patient's myocardial infarction and apoplexy or greatly reduce the long-term injury to heart or cerebral tissue provides the urgent needs that causes wittingly the hypothermic method and system of therapeutic for the effective means with controlled.This type systematic is desirably portable and can be disposed at the scene by emergency medical service ambulanceman, and must be able to be quickly cooled to and close important heart and cerebral tissue with anti-damage as much as possible.But for noinvasive ground and cause fast that outside Intensive Care Therapy hospital environment hypothermic idealized system or method still do not exist.Cooling blanket provides the portable means that are easy to deployment that patient is lowered the temperature, but the self-thermoregulation mechanism of health is offset the cooling mechanism of this type of blanket by vasoconstriction.Therefore, cooling blanket can not cause in clinical correlation time the hypothermia in patient body in span.Ice bath due to cooling medium compared with large thermal gradient with compared with large specific heat capacity and can fast reducing patient temperature.But ice bath is not portable, such as the balloon angioplasty etc. required with treating MI (myocardial infarction) and apoplexy intervened inconsistent the necessary same period.The peritoneal catheter that is equipped with heat exchanger can quick cooling patient, but that the required size of this type of conduit becomes their deployment is traumatic.In addition, this type of catheterization needs those skilled in the art and must in hospital, carry out.Time arriving at hospital to patient, delay the time of many keys.Operate as heat exchanger by the lung with health self and use the gaseous fluid of frozen particles be suspended thing as convection current cooling medium can field deployment breathing cooling system can in span, cause hypothermia in clinical correlation time.But in such as the medical first aid such as apoplexy or MI, patient usually shows and breathes bad or suppress.In addition, breathe cooling mechanism also less than the cooling cooldown rate of peritoneum.
